Sarah Michelle Gellar seems to be aging backwards and we all want to know the secret to her incredible look.
The actress walked the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards in a showstopping black gown that showcased her athletic figure, just a day after dropping a major announcement that stunned her fans.
The black dress featured an asymmetrical sleeveless bodice and a skirt that fell elegantly to her feet. Sarah accessorized with large diamond earrings, matching rings, and a black clutch with a diamond clasp.
She opted for a classic makeup look and wore her blonde hair in a chic updo, with two pieces left to frame her face.
The 47-year-old looked like she had just stepped out of a time machine, and was glowing at the glam event.
She walked the carpet solo as her husband of 22 years, Freddie Prinze Jr., is busy filming the upcoming sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer in Australia.

Sarah’s appearance comes after she made a major announcement about the future of her hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2003.
The show made the mother of two a certified star, and fans have been chomping at the bit for news of a reboot ever since.

“So…you might have heard some news this week, but I realize you haven’t heard from me,” Sarah began the announcement.
“Three years ago, I got a call from my dear friend and mentor, Gail Berman. She told me that she wanted me to sit down with Chloé Zhao to hear her take on a potential Buffy revival.”

After meeting for a coffee to discuss the potential of a revival, they brought it to Nora and Lilla Zuckerman to get the project off the ground.
“I have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit Buffy and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right,” she explained.

Sarah shared a final message for her fans as she concluded the statement. “Thank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you.”
